This is a weakness, I don't know what else to call it, with Nostr. And I'm not sure if it's fixable. First, no need to "secure" your npub, it's public by default. :) But the nsec...
One thing I did was to make another keypair so if the one I use now gets compromised I can go to the other and say "This is the real me". I made a note to this effect at some point. The reality is, no one would really know the difference; no on would do the investigative work to go back and find out that oh yeah, he did post a note at some point saying npub-2 is the account that verifies him. Frankly, I don't even know where that note I posted is.
I like and use the Hive blockchain and they have a better key system: you actually have four keys for different uses, each with more power. And, this is what nostr needs if possible, a way to change keys...to cancel your old keys and make new ones. Everything about the old account just changes over to the new keys.

Thanks for the shout out (to #1383362 "Everything is a market").
Hah, I'd never thought of the dating market. But, definitely, things are being marketed, sold, not sold, resources are being displayed, held back and offered for more. Fun way to look at it. Not sure I'd bring it up with students though, seems like it could get off the rails fast. :)
It's all offense and points. Fans want to see their favorite player jam the ball and score 30 ppg. Traveling in the NBA is not a thing, it is just a way to move to the basket and get more points.
I have to say, I'm always amazed that anyone actually watches the NBA. I don’t. At least the WWE embraces the while thing and is funny, hilarious at times. I'll pause and watch it for that reason.
I think you're missing the point. The NBA is not basketball, like college hoops, it is basketball entertainment. It is the WWE, for basketball. That's all there is to it.
Of course I mistyped the URL for Wairdle, it should be https://wairdle.vercel.app
シ for sats symbol.

Based on that, SN or Nostr might not be the best place. Both are heavy "bitcoin people" in my view, SN especially. I'm sure it is degrees though, some new and learning, some very old and talented bitcoiners. But, SN and Nostr might be preaching to the choir.
Stacker News - bitcoin people are here
Nostr - use Habla or Untype.app for long form
Hive.blog - good for recording a blog and this would be the most immutable and persistent (SN is centralized, may one day go bye-bye, and Nostr relays and notes can go kaput)
A question in my mind would be the desired reach. Do you want to reach bitcoin people or reach out to others? SN and Nostr are heavy bitcoin, Hive is too (but a bit lesser degree). If you wanted to really reach out then Medium and that type of thing.
But what about the Weeki Wachee mermaids?!
Fun fact. I've always heard how the sailors and pirates from the old tall ship days used sometimes think that they saw mermaids swimming in the waters while peering over the ship's rails. But, the "mermaids" were really manatees. No idea if this is just a fable or if there's truth to it, but that's what I've always heard.
Anyway, if you mistake a fat, slow manatee (I love them for their ugly/cuteness, but they're still fat and slow), if you mistake a manatee for a mermaid, you've been out at sea far, far too long! (Or, maybe fat and slow is an attractive mermaid. I'm not judging.)
